of his State that Col. Grant, tho head of the

SENATOR FRYE say he voted against tie
Blair bill because there was not sufficient
guarantee for the money appropriated, Sen
ator Riddlehelger says General Malone told
him he was opposed to it because the demo-
Gratis of his Stale would use the money TO
carry elections. Mr.. Reed, the republican
leader of The House, has said his people arc
not interested in the bill referred to. Sem
ator Hiscock, when member OF the House,
opposed the consideration Of the bill, and
all the ROY u5lican members OF House ccm-
mittees on education and labor, Mt the last
session of Congress, were also opposed to
setting apart day fer considering that bill.
And yet the Maboneites make a great ado
about the democrats being opposed to the
Blair bill, and that, too, though every dem
ocratic congressman from Virginia. except
one. was in favor of that bill.
